Here's some reasons why it might fail: . You already have a search engine forhttp://url.com/. Thanks, that was it, sort of. It wasn't really a search engine, it was a bookmark with a %s keyword imported from Firefox with the same base URL. When deleted, it works. Need some error feedback

Yes, Chromium supports the OpenSearch specification. As you browse pages, if they offer a search engine (a link rel=search tag), we'll pick it up and automatically add it to the list of engines available in the browser. For instance, visit http://www.slashdot.org/ and their engine will be detected
